My answer...................................................... Hello John Pilgrim, I don't think that we've met yet. Welcome to the forum, and forgive me for taking so long to respond to your question to me. I have been away. My thoughts on Psalm 51:9-12 are pretty basic really. I think that the psalmist is desiring a better relationship with God. Therefore, he asks God for forgiveness (v.9),and for a renewing of the psalmist's spirit (v.10). Then in verse 11, the psalmist speaks of wanting to stay in a close relationship with God. Therefore, he doesn't want to be cast away from God, or have God's Holy Spirit go away from him. Finally, in verse 12, the psalmist prays to regain the joy that he had when he was first saved by God. Those would be my initial thoughts on the passage you asked about. Do you see more there, or have any other questions? |

4 | A willing spirit or a generous Spirit? | Joel 2:28 | Searcher56 | 115115 | ||
Scripture-Psa 51:12 . Word Study-N@diybah ... N@diybah (Strong's 5082) is the word translated willing or generous. It is noun feminine and means nobility, nobleness, noble deeds. Nadab (Strong's 5068) is the primitive root. It means to incite, impel, make willing. By that I would choose willing. It is not the Holy Spirit ... but our spirit. He is always willing and we are not always willing - so we need to ask for it. |
